One of the great thing about owning your own business it the ability to determine your...]]> http://www.jonathanboettcher.com/the-goal-of-every-internet-business/feed/ 3 http://www.jonathanboettcher.com/its-easy-to-be-a-critic/ http://www.jonathanboettcher.com/its-easy-to-be-a-critic/#comments Thu, 02 Jul 2009 21:02:10 +0000 Jonathan http://jonathanboettcher.com/?p=364 I have never liked reality TV. Although I don’t deny it can be entertaining at times, there are several things about it that bother me. I don’t like the gossip, the backstabbing and the grandstanding antics that drive ratings through the roof. But what bothers me most is not so much what happens on the...]]> http://www.jonathanboettcher.com/its-easy-to-be-a-critic/feed/ 2 http://www.jonathanboettcher.com/aprils-outsourcing-update/ http://www.jonathanboettcher.com/aprils-outsourcing-update/#comments Tue, 28 Apr 2009 02:33:29 +0000 Jonathan http://jonathanboettcher.com/?p=285 Several people have asked me lately about how things are going with the outsourcing, so I figured it was about time to update the blog status on that front. If you’ve been around here a while, you might remember that I’ve wrote about replacing myself (outsourcing) a while ago. Back in February I hired someone...]]> http://www.jonathanboettcher.com/aprils-outsourcing-update/feed/ 8 http://www.jonathanboettcher.com/outsourcing-update/ http://www.jonathanboettcher.com/outsourcing-update/#comments Wed, 28 Jan 2009 02:28:05 +0000 Jonathan http://jonathanboettcher.com/?p=243 This is the 100th post on this blog! Just thought I’d put that in here before we get going =).  Well, it’s been a couple of weeks since I last posted my progress on my resolution to replace myself. Since then, a few things have happened. The guy I offered the job to accepted, and started....]]> http://www.jonathanboettcher.com/outsourcing-update/feed/ 6 http://www.jonathanboettcher.com/following-through-on-the-resolution-to-replace-myself/ http://www.jonathanboettcher.com/following-through-on-the-resolution-to-replace-myself/#comments Fri, 09 Jan 2009 19:29:41 +0000 Jonathan http://jonathanboettcher.com/?p=213 In my last post I mentioned how I had discovered ReplaceMyself and listened to John’s free audio where he gives tips and pointers for how to hire someone in the Philippines. Although I’d heard the rationale before, for some reason a few of the things he said really clicked with me. Maybe it was the fact that...]]> http://www.jonathanboettcher.com/following-through-on-the-resolution-to-replace-myself/feed/ 6 http://www.jonathanboettcher.com/google-chrome-redefines-the-browser/ http://www.jonathanboettcher.com/google-chrome-redefines-the-browser/#comments Tue, 02 Sep 2008 23:52:38 +0000 Jonathan http://jonathanboettcher.com/?p=104 This morning I had a couple emails in my inbox with reference to Google’s new open source Chrome browser. I deleted the first few, and just after I had deleted the last one, something made me CTRL+Z undelete it. I figured if Google had just come out with a new browser I might as well...]]> http://www.jonathanboettcher.com/google-chrome-redefines-the-browser/feed/ 4 http://www.jonathanboettcher.com/stuck-in-a-work-rut-outsource-it/ http://www.jonathanboettcher.com/stuck-in-a-work-rut-outsource-it/#comments Thu, 28 Aug 2008 22:22:55 +0000 Jonathan http://jonathanboettcher.com/?p=102 I’ve written about outsourcing before, but this afternoon the value of it sunk home a little bit further. I don’t know about you, but I’m a terrbiel procrastinator if the thing I need to do isn’t exactly high up there on the list of things I enjoy doing. So, as a result, I’ve had a...]]> http://www.jonathanboettcher.com/stuck-in-a-work-rut-outsource-it/feed/ 4 http://www.jonathanboettcher.com/my-new-laptop-from-1998-running-vista/ http://www.jonathanboettcher.com/my-new-laptop-from-1998-running-vista/#comments Thu, 21 Aug 2008 15:36:08 +0000 Jonathan http://jonathanboettcher.com/?p=95 I feel like I just got a new computer, and it’s from 1998. Seriously, I’m super happy about this. Why? Let me tell you a story… I’ve been involved with computers for a long time… most of the ones that I’ve owned I’ve built myself; I worked in a computer shop and did tech support...]]> http://www.jonathanboettcher.com/my-new-laptop-from-1998-running-vista/feed/ 5 http://www.jonathanboettcher.com/samsung-instinct-m800-review/ http://www.jonathanboettcher.com/samsung-instinct-m800-review/#comments Mon, 11 Aug 2008 16:43:28 +0000 Jonathan http://jonathanboettcher.com/?p=88 I’ve had a really old and really crappy cell phone for just under three years now. Actually, that phone is less than 2 years old as I remember trading in the one before it on warranty to upgrade to the slightly less crappy thing I used until yesterday.

Pay someone to do those things that you don’t really want to do – especially when you can get them done cheap! Well, that was months ago, and I never really did much with it,...]]> http://www.jonathanboettcher.com/baby-steps-into-outsourcing/feed/ 0 http://www.jonathanboettcher.com/3g-iphone-20-coming-to-canada/ http://www.jonathanboettcher.com/3g-iphone-20-coming-to-canada/#comments Mon, 09 Jun 2008 21:31:52 +0000 Jonathan http://jonathanboettcher.com/?p=70 I’ve been waiting a while for the iPhone to officially be available in Canada. Ever since I got myself an Airport Express and realized there was a strong possibility of being able to control my home stereo (room by room) through an iPhone I thought it would be uber-cool to get one.

I use it basically all day long, in a wide variety of applications, so I thought I would write a bit of a review of my experiences with it so far. Hopefully someone...]]> http://www.jonathanboettcher.com/dell-xps-1530-review/feed/ 38 http://www.jonathanboettcher.com/woopra-the-chuck-norris-of-site-analytics/ http://www.jonathanboettcher.com/woopra-the-chuck-norris-of-site-analytics/#comments Tue, 29 Apr 2008 02:59:45 +0000 Jonathan http://jonathanboettcher.com/?p=52 You know in the movies when they’ve always has this cool laptop with some program on there that seemingly lets him rule the world? You know, they can access whatever they want, hack into things and do cool-looking stuff.

Since then I’ve had my nose down, trying to grow my online business. Today I decided work could wait. I went over to a friend’s place for breakfast, then we took my canoe out and explored nearby Ruskin Lake for the better...]]> http://www.jonathanboettcher.com/why-i-fired-my-boss/feed/ 0
